7.1 - POWER SUPPLY CONNECTION

WARNINGS!

– The PVC power cable is suitable for indoor installations. For 

installation outdoors, you must protect the entire cable with a pro-

tective duct. Alternatively, you can replace the cable with one of 

type H07RN-F.

– The final connection of the automation to the electrical mains or 

substitution of the cable supplied must be performed exclusively 

by a qualified and expert electrician, in compliance with local safe-

ty standards and the following instructions.

• For operational and programming tests of the automation

, use 

the cable supplied, inserting the plug into an electrical socket. If the sock-

et is far from the automation, use a suitable extension lead.

• For the test and commissioning phase of the automation

 you 

must connect the control unit permanently to the mains power supply, 

replacing the supplied cable with another of suitable length. To make the 

connection between the cable and the gearmotor control unit, proceed as 

described below:

WARNING:

Provide a device inside the electricity supply line that ensures complete 

disconnection of the automation mechanism from the grid. The dis-

connection device must have contacts with an opening distance large 

enough to permit complete disconnection under the conditions sanc-

tioned by overvoltage category III, in accordance with installation regula-

tions.

The device ensures quick, safe disconnection from the power sup-

ply if needed, and must therefore be positioned in view of the automation 

mechanism. If, on the other hand, it is located in a position which is not 

visible, there must be a system for preventing accidental or unauthorized 

reconnection with the power grid to prevent this risk. The disconnection 

device is not supplied with the product.

01.

 Make sure that the gearmotor plug is not plugged into the wall socket.

02.

 Disconnect the power supply terminal electrical cable from the gear-

motor.

03.

 Loosen the collar found under the terminal and remove the electric 

cable.

Replace it with a permanent power supply cable.

04.

 Connect the electric cable to the gearmotor power supply terminal.

05.

 Tighten the collar to secure the electric cable.

7.2 - PRELIMINARY CHECKS

As soon as the control unit is electrically powered, you are advised to 

carry out some simple tests:

01.

 Check that the 

ECSbus led

[A] 

(

fig. 16

) is flashing steadily, at a 

speed of around one flash per second.

02.

 Check that the 

SAFE led

[B] 

(

fig. 16

) on the photocells is flashing 

(both on TX and RX); the type of flash is not important as this depends 

on other factors; it is simply important that it is not either permanently 

lit or unlit. 

03.

 If the above conditions are not satisfied, it is advisable to switch off 

the power supply to the control unit and check the electrical connec-

tions more carefully. For other useful information see also chapters 

10.5 “Troubleshooting” and 10.6 “Diagnostics and signals”.

7.3 - CONNECTED DEVICES RECOGNITION

Once the initial checks are complete, you need to allow the control unit 

to recognise the devices connected to it on the “ECSbus” and “STOP” 

terminals.

01.

  On the control unit, press and hold down 

P2

[A] 

(

fig. 17

) for at least 

3 seconds, then release it.

02.

  Wait a few seconds until the control unit has completed the device 

recognition procedure.

03.

  On recognition completion the 

STOP led

[B] 

(

fig. 17

) must remain 

lit, whilst the 

P2 led

[C] 

(

fig. 17

) must go out. If the 

P2 led

 flashes, it 

means that an error has occurred; see section 10.5 “Troubleshooting”.

The phase of self-learning the devices connected can be repeated at any 

time also after installation (such as in the case that a photocell is added); 

it is sufficient to repeat it from point 01.

7.4 -  GATE LEAF OPEN AND CLOSURE ANGLES RECOG-

NITION

After self-learning the devices, the control unit must recognise the leaf 

opening and closing angles. In this phase the opening angle of the leaves 

from the mechanical end closing stop up to the mechanical opening stop 

is detected. The presence of fixed and sufficiently robust mechanical 

stops is essential.

01.

  Carry out motors release using the appropriate keys (see paragraph 

11.3 - Usage guide) and move the leaves to mid-course, in such a 

way that they are free to move in the opening and closing directions; 

then release the motors.

02.

  On the control unit press and release 

P3

[B] 

(

fig. 17

); wait for the 

control unit to perform the recognition: closure of motor M1 up to the 

mechanical stop, closure of motor M2 up to the mechanical stop, 

opening of the motor M2 and the motor M1 up to the mechanical 

opening stop; full closure of M1 and M2.

- If the first manoeuvre of one or both wings is not a closure, press 

P3

 to stop the recognition phase and then invert the polarity of the 

opening motor(s) by swapping over the two brown and blue wires on 

the terminal.

- If the first motor to carry out a closing move is not M1, press 

P3

 to 

stop the recognition phase and then swap the motors connections 

on the terminals.

- If during the recognition phase a device actuates (photocells, key 

selector switch, P3 pressed, etc.) the recognition phase will be 

stopped immediately. It will then be necessary to repeat it in full.

03.

  If the 

P3 led

[A] 

(

fig. 17

) flashes at the conclusion of the recognition 

process, it means that an error has occurred; see section 10.5 “Trou-

bleshooting”.

The recognition stage of the opening angles can be repeated again at any 

time, even after the installation (for example, if one of the opening stops is 

moved); it is sufficient to repeat the procedure starting from step 1.

7.5 - RADIO TRANSMITTERS CHECK

To check the transmitters, you just need to press on one of its 4 keys, 

check that the led flashes and that the automation carries out the com-

mand sent.

The command associated to each key depends on the way in which they 

were stored (see paragraph 10.4 “Memorisation of radio transmitters”). 

7.6 - ADJUSTMENTS

7.6.1 - Leaf speed selection

Leaf opening and closing can be done in two speeds: “slow” or “fast”.

To move between one speed and the other, quickly press 

P2 

(

fig. 17

); the 

corresponding 

P2 led

 (

fig. 17

) lights up or goes out; when the led is off 

the speed is “slow”, when the led is lit the speed is “fast”.

7.6.2 - Selecting the operating cycle type

The closing and opening of the gate can be performed according to two 

different operating cycles:
• single cycle (semiautomatic): with one command the gate opens, and 

will remain open until the next command causing it to close.

•  Complete cycle (automatic closure): with one command, the gate opens 

and recloses automatically after a short space of time (for the duration 

see paragraph 10.1 “Parameter adjustment using radio transmitter”).

To move between one operating cycle and the other, quickly press

 P3 

(

fig. 17

); the corresponding led (

fig. 17

) lights up or goes out; when the 

led is off the cycle is “single”, when the led is lit the cycle is “complete”.
